Plot: Red discovers a deal in which the lodge can pair up with another one, even in a foreign country, so he decides to attempt to twin with all 50 states, but all-except Iowa (all of it, according to Dalton)-reject the requests. Red then tells Dalton that he is unable to travel to Iowa because he is banned from the US for two years for a confrontation at customs relating to his appearance, so Dalton heads off without Red. Shortly afterwards, 500 Iowans arrive at the lodge, among them, persons resembling Winston, Edgar Montrose, Dalton, Mike Hamar and Red.
